How can you? The Atkins logo and the words "low-carb" are on everything these days.

You cant ingnore it. It is every where that you look. All over TV, all over the papers etc. Even potato farmers are growing low carb potatos. It's just retarded..

Who cares? Why should it bother me that it's all over everything? It isn't affecting what I can eat or buy.

If you let every fad bother you, you'll spend the rest of your life bothered. Just get over it.

I am just stating something that gets on my nerves. If you dont like it, dont read my post. No one forced you to read it. I know I am not the only one that is tired of the stupid low/no carb stuff.

This fad is OVERPRICED. Just like how "ORGANIC" food is OVERPRICED. And eventually idiots will bring companies to the courts like McDs and eliminate NON-LOW CARB food. It bothers me because now I can't Supersize my Double-quarter pounder w/ cheese combo and you want to know something funny? I eat it, and I exercise it off! Unlike the average "American" who can't even take pride in an American fast-food company. :|

The only annoying thing about it IMHO is the general prevalence of misinformation. Most people have, at best, a cursory understanding of the whole Atkins concept so they just think "carbs are bad" and that's the extent of things. It's almost just an excuse to eat crap for some people.

They are just selling something that makes them money. If you don't like it, don't buy their products. No one forces you to look at or buy their products.

At any rate, like I said, if you let fads bother you, you WILL spend the rest of your life bothered. There is ALWAYS a fad going on. The key here is how YOU let it affect YOU.

It annoys me because I feel that a lot of companies are really going over the top with it, to the point that Ruby Tuesday's is adertising Lite Beers as "LOW CARB!"

That just seems unethical to me.

I didn't see where he lets all kinds of fads bother him...just the low carb one. It's pretty damn hard to avoid this one. I do my best...i don't watch TV all that much, and don't read the newspaper...yet i still feel bombarded by it.

He lets it affect him by bothering him. You don't let it affect you. Congrats! Everyone is different and he was just voicing his frustration.

Come on folks, say it with me:

"CAR BO HY DRATES"


See? That wasn't so hard to say.

The great thing about eating a well balanced diet is that I enjoy all foods. I especially like to make great looking (and tasting!) pasta dishes that my Atkins-dieting friends cry over because they've been told that pasta is bad for their diet.

Bwahahahaha. I am that :evil:

You've got that right. 90% of my coworkers are examples of this.
